Money, Space, and Women’s Genius: Virginia Woolf’s 'A Room of One’s Own' Ft. Abeera & Kanza | EP5

In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf argues that women’s absence from literary history is not due to a lack of talent, but to material and structural inequality. Through the famous claim that a woman needs a room of her own and an independent income to write, Woolf exposes how education, financial dependence, and social restrictions have historically limited women’s creative freedom. This podcast episode explores Woolf’s critique of patriarchal institutions, her use of fictional examples like Judith Shakespeare, and her innovative blend of essay and narrative. We examine the text as a foundational work of feminist literary criticism and discuss its continued relevance to questions of authorship, gender, class, and intellectual freedom today. 🎙️ This podcast is part of an ongoing effort to build a serious literary tradition from Pakistan, engaging with classical and high-brow texts through careful reading, theory, and reflection.
